Step 1. After run the app on Android, tap on the WhatsApp icon and grant permissions. Or you can go to Settings > Advanced > Accessibility > SQEDit to do that manually.


Step 2. Launch the app and tap on WhatsApp icon again. And schedule WhatsApp message by selecting the contact and the date & time. This app also enables you to add attachments.


Step 3. The app will enable “Send Manually” by default, and you will get a notification at the scheduled time. If you disable it, the app will send the message automatically. Then tap on the SCHEDULE button at the upper right corner.

Note: 
The app can’t automatically send scheduled messages when the phone is locked. If your phone is locked, the app will push you a notification to unlock the phone at the scheduled time. The only one solution is that you have to grant root access to your Android.
